ABSTRACT
I describe the results of retrogasserian differential lidocaine block to aid in the selection of patients for a differential thermal lesion in the trigeminal ganglion and rootlets. This procedure temporarily duplicates the state of analgesia without anesthesia one seeks to make permanent with the radiofrequency heating. The results of this heating procedure are described in the treatment of 71 patients with facial pain of cancer, postherpetic, periodic migrainous neuralgia, acromegaly, trigeminal neuropathy, central pain, post-traumatic facial neuralgia, and atypical facial neuralgia.
